About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, Supply Chain, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • 1–4 years of experience in industrial engineering, supply chain, warehouse operations, automation, data science, or a related field.
  • Experience analyzing data using tools such as Excel, Python, SQL, or Power BI.
  • Understanding of warehouse or manufacturing operations, material flow, throughput, capacity, and labor productivity.
  • Experience with AutoCAD or similar computer-aided design software for facility layouts.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20–30% for customer site visits, proposal reviews, demonstrations, and post-deployment support.
  • Fluency in Spanish or Portuguese is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze customer operational data to understand order profiles, stock-keeping unit profiles, throughput requirements, labor productivity, and other design inputs.
  • Develop autonomous mobile robot solutions, including workflows, facility layouts, cart configurations, labor requirements, productivity estimates, and descriptions of operation.
  • Build and analyze discrete-event simulations to validate system performance, evaluate design alternatives, identify bottlenecks, and support fleet sizing.
  • Develop and modify warehouse layouts using AutoCAD.
  • Participate in customer discovery calls, technical discussions, site visits, and facility walkthroughs to understand current operations and validate solution assumptions.
  • Identify missing or inconsistent data, develop engineering assumptions, and document the inputs and methods behind solution recommendations.
  • Partner with Sales to develop proposals, presentations, return on investment analyses, and other materials that communicate the operational and business value of the company's solutions.
  • Support customer demonstrations, technical reviews, and other engagements throughout the sales process.
  • Collaborate with Product, Software, Deployment, and Engineering teams to evaluate technical requirements, product capabilities, implementation considerations, and potential solution risks.
  • Develop and improve internal analytical tools, simulation models, and processes to make solution development faster, more consistent, and scalable.
  • Manage multiple customer projects concurrently and prioritize work based on deadlines and business needs.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with warehouse automation, including autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, goods-to-person systems, conveyors, sortation, or other material-handling technologies.
  • Experience with discrete-event simulation software, preferably FlexSim.
  • Strong Python skills for data processing, visualization, simulation, optimization, or engineering tool development.
  • Familiarity with warehouse optimization techniques such as batch picking, zoning, order clustering, stock-keeping unit slotting, and labor planning.
  • Familiarity with warehouse management systems, warehouse control systems, and other logistics software.
  • Experience developing automation concepts, productivity models, capacity models, or return on investment analyses.
  • Experience working directly with customers in a technical, consulting, pre-sales, or project environment.
